    DIY Wrap Top Using Simplicity 8424

    February 12, 2021 / 4 Comments

    Did you miss me? January was such a crazy month I would start a blog post, but then completely get distracted and didn't get to share this wrap top I made using Simplicity 8424. Ironically enough this is the perfect time to share it for two reasons Valentine's day is this Sunday and the fabric that I used is from a Black and Latina own fabric company called Melanated Fabrics.

    How to Adjust Any Sewing Pattern From Woven to Stretch Fabric

    December 29, 2020 / 10 Comments

    Hey you Introverts, have you ever found a pattern you loved, but didn’t want to make it out of stiff fabric with no give? I will walk you through how to adjust any sewing pattern from woven to stretch fabric. If you follow me on Instagram or on my Facebook page then you may remember the teal sweater knit fabric that you see here. Earlier this year, I mentioned purchasing it from SAS Fabrics. This was at the Phoenix location off of Indian School if you’re curious. Let me tell you one thing I have been working on is my self-confidence with sewing. All the compliments in the world don’t…

    DIY Overall Dress Using McCalls 8162

    I am so excited to share this post with you. This is the first time that I have drastically alter a pattern that matched the vision I had in mind and made an overall dress of all things. If you've known me for a while then you know I don't wear overalls because I don't get the city slicker look I want when I wear them. Well ...

    Ditch the Stitch: Ways You Can Reduce Your Sewing Time

    Happy Wednesday Introverts! If you caught my post yesterday then you know that I planned a two for one deal. Two posts this week! I know that’s unheard of from me. Well, I didn’t have time last week to get one of my posts up so I wanted to make sure that I caught up. Today, I will share some tips I have in making my own faux leather dress. If you follow trends then you know that leather/faux leather/pleather are on trend this winter so I tried my luck at making my own dress. My idea was to create a dress that didn’t have any neckline or hemstitching so…

    The Best Way to Sew a Teddy Faux Fur Coat

    February 13, 2020 / No Comments

    Happy early Valentine’s Day Introverts! Today, I thought I’d share something special a little V-day inspired look. A couple of weeks ago I went up to Flagstaff, Arizona to catch the little bit of snow that was left in Arizona. It doesn’t snow down in Phoenix at all, except that one time about 5 or 6 years ago, but it was gone in a few hours so you blinked and you missed it. Growing up in the Chicago area, snow in the winter was something that I looked forward to. I remember growing up making forts and having snowball fights with my little brother. We’d play for hours and then…

Hi! Who am I you ask? I am a shy girl who has a sarcastic and goofy side and has found sewing to be my outlet to break out of my shell. I grew up with siblings so I like to share my knowledge with those around me. I look forward to getting to you know you.

May was madness. Yep I said it. We had a tornado of a month here in the Horne household and so ready to start a new month. As you can see I am already in shorts because it is HOT 🥵. It is already in the 90s and hit over 100 a few times. So you know what that means you’re about to get all this summer content. No more coats for now, lol.
Do it terrified. I’ve heard people say for years that they have a sewing machine and are inspired to sew because of what I or another sewist did. BUT they never start sewing. This video is a PSA to just start, you may not be great at it in the beginning but the more you practice the more you will learn and grow. You’ll start fooling people thinking your clothes were store bought (as long as you press your seams 😂). Plus, you will have a lot fun along the way and the sewing community on IG is so welcoming you’ll have tons of support.
Raise you hand if you dread Mondays. 🙋‍♀️

In the studio today working on some goodies. Since I have so many new followers I thought I’d share a little about myself.
I told y’all I was going to start having fun with this camera. Swipe right to see me in action.

Don’t mind me, just over her trying to find my inner peace after a long week. Is it Friday yet?
You won’t believe this. I’m finally going live. Yep my first live for 2022. Come hang with me. We’ll laugh, dance and talk about sewing. Can’t wait to see you there.
